PANTOGRAPH Type SPL

PANTOGRAPH FOR LIGHT RAIL VEHICLE, TYPE SPL2

GENERAL INFORMATIONSPL pantograph is the ideal solution for manufacturers and operators of tramways and light rail vehicles, looking for an efficient and reliable current collecting device. With its wide working range (500 – 3300 mm above roof) and record flatness (300mm above roof), Sécheron SPL pantograph achieves high performances with constrained weight and great stiffness of design. Its unique panhead suspension system offers SPL pantograph an excellent dynamic behaviour, with great

benefits to the contact reliability between the pantograph and overhead lines, as well as to the carbon strips life time. SPL are thoroughly tested and surpass standard requirements, making them fully compliant with EN 50126-2/IEC 60494-2 and EN/IEC 61373.In commercial operation on different tramway networks throughout Europe, SPL pantograph has demonstrated its robustness and reliability in different operational and climatic conditions.

DESIGN

A simple design, made of 4 main elements, guarantees the pantograph reliable operation for operators:

1. The base frame made of a steel welded lightweight profile, enables fixing the pantograph on the vehicle through four insulators. The frame houses all of the other parts (lower and upper arms as-sembly, damper linear actuator, high and low-voltage electrical interfaces).

2. The lower and upper arms are made of welded thin steel tubes, housing insu-lated maintenance free bearings. Two unstrained stainless steel rods insure the rigidity. Flexible braids allow safe electrical connections.

3. The panhead, installed on a leaf spring suspension system, is designed to allow free movements in all necessary direc-tions to always guarantee the electrical continuity between the contact strips and the overhead line.

4. The drive unit combines the linear actu-ator with the main spring to operate the pantograph.

To limit damages caused by abnormal shocks applied to the pantograph’s panhead during operation, an Automatic Dropping Device can be mounted on the pantograph for a fast-drop action.

Would the auxiliary power supply be unavailable, the pantograph can be manually operated through a flexible shaft linked to the linear actuator and accessible from inside the vehicle.
